You will be across the Hudson from Wall Street and can take the water taxi from the campground or you can walk 2 blocks up the street and take the light rail into World Trade Center plaza or to Times Square (34th St.) That option is much cheaper.
I think you're getting your trains mixed up.
There's a light rail stop (called Marin Blvd) a couple of blocks from Liberty Harbor, but that train doesn't go to Manhattan; it stays on the New Jersey side of the Hudson River.
The train that goes into Manhattan is the PATH train, and the stop for that (called Grove Street) is about 1/2 mile from Liberty Harbor. You walk past the light rail stop on your way to the PATH stop.
You can take the light rail for a few stops and catch a PATH train into Manhattan at a different stop, but you'll have to pay both the light rail and the PATH fares separately.
And you said the PATH train goes to "Times Square (34th St.)." The last stop on that line is called 33rd Street, and is by Macy's, not Times Square.
